Nelson Mandela Work

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela is a man from South Africa, and he was the reason that we have
race relations day today. He fought against apartheid and segregation, in his
lifetime ( 18 July 1918, to 5 December 2013) he also won the Nobel Peace Prize.
He also was against white supremacy.

Firstly, Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid and segregation. Apartheid is
when only white people in South Africa are superior and they have good things,
when the blacks are treated unfairly. Segregation means where one group of
people like the whites are separated from black people and are treated
differently. I think apartheid and segregation is wrong because everyone should
be treated equally.

Secondly, Nelson Mandela was against white supremacy. In South Africa he
did not think that it was fair that only the white people got all the good things
in life.  Only the white people got big houses, electricity and proper roads.
Nelson Mandela also thought that the black people should not have to live in
tiny hovels and should be allowed  proper roads or electricity. He did not think
it was fair that because of their skin colour, that the black and the white people
got different rights. We agree with Nelson Mandela because we don’t think it
is fair either.

Finally, Nelson Mandela won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. He shared the
Nobel Peace Prize with Frederik Willem de Klerk. De Klerk was the president
of South Africa. They won the Peace Prize because of their work fighting
against apartheid and segregation. We think that they deserved the Nobel
Peace Prize because what they were doing was right.

In conclusion, Nelson Mandela is recognised today because he fought against
apartheid and segregation, he was against white supremacy, and he won the
nobel peace prize. Nelson Mandela was very important for the way he fought
for equal rights and helped support black people to have a better life. It affects
us today because everyone no matter what their skin colour is, they are

entitled to have equal rights.

The Guardian Of A Mysterious Swamp Creative Writing

The Guardian Of A Mysterious Swamp

In 1848 there was a mysterious swamp in the middle of a  random forest near Moisty
Mire.This perplexing swamp was very odd because sometimes furniture comes out of it.

One day little Red Riding Hood was walking through the forest and saw some soft
purple carpet that was as moldy as 100 year old bread next to a swamp. She sprinted
furiously and went to bring her granny to view the problem. When she arrived at her
granny’s house she wasn’t there so she fetched her butterfly catching net and sprinted
furiously back to the mystery swamp. The oak trees were wailing and dancing rapidly
in the breeze.

When she appeared at the swamp the purple carpet was gone but there was a ginormous
chair and a slimy, green taniwha that looked like a fat elephant sitting on the chair. At
the sight of little Red Riding Hood he dived into the mystical swamp. Little Red Riding
Hood scooped her butterfly net into the dark, slimy water but the taniwha wrapped his
scaly tail around it and yoinked it out of her grasp. Then the taniwha emerged from the
water with a silicone spatula and started intensely smacking little Red Riding Hood with
it.

She ran away and never came back again until years later. When she was 107 she was walking through the forest and saw the magical swamp again. She had completely forgotten about the swamp because she was very old but she still had the scar of the silicone spatula on her leg.

She walked up to the strange swamp and there was a wooden table lying on its side next
to the swamp. Then the taniwha came out and threw lemons and oranges and salt at her
until she sat down and started crying because the taniwha got her clothes dirty.

Then the taniwha tightly grabbed little Red Riding Hood by the toes and quietly
dragged her into the swamp and cooked her at 220o C for breakfast and the wrinkly
sweaty toes were the best.
